A one time educator, she has enjoyed a distinguished career as a Real Estate professional for more than 22 years. With a history of managing real estate offices, Barbara is now fulfilling her greatest passion of devoting her time to assisting buyers and sellers.

Those who meet Barbara know that excellence is the end result in whatever she involves herself. Her sensitivity to others and vast knowledge of the Los Angeles area, especially the greater Pasadena neighborhoods, are among her greatest assets when it comes to customer satisfaction. Consistently being one of the top producers she has gained expertise in many areas. She specializes in assisting first time buyers, buyers that are selling and moving up to larger homes, investment buyers, as well as sellers and buyers that are relocating.

Barbara is a strong community supporter as an active volunteer in several organizations. With her family, community activities, many interests and involvement in her church, she leads a full and happy life.

Focusing on a select group of clients cultivated through years of referrals and hard earned trust, Barbara is able to dedicate all efforts on the needs of her clients rather than expending energy on mass marketing schemes.

Barbara provides personalized service to suit the specific and individual needs of each seller and buyer.

What exceeds Barbara's experience is her commitment to you.

Barbara's business has evolved from a solid real estate business established by Emma Lee Halverson - a distinguished local real estate agent who developed a stellar reputation for her commitment to knowledge and integrity.

In 1972 Emma Lee Halverson joined Pasadena based Whipple Realty while working as a Counselor at Marshall High School. While working part time as a Realtor she gained experience and expertise so that by the time she took early retirement from Pasadena Unified School District in 1984, she had built a large client based referral system and had become Whipple's top producing agent.

In 1988 Emma Lee moved to the San Marino office of Bliss Keeler to partner with her daughter, Barbara Wheeler. In her first year there she was awarded the top award for production. Her referral business spread to Barbara and they successfully worked as a team until her retirement in 1995.



Barbara's private desire was to later team up with one of her daughters and in 2005 her dream came true with Katherine joining her successful referral business. In May 2011 we were selected as founding agents to open the Pasadena office of John Aaroe Group.

Built on the foundation laid by Emma Lee, the Lippincott Group team served the community for eight years with four generations of real estate professionals. The only constant is change, and in 2013 Katherine and James moved out of the area to pursue a new chapter in their family life. Barbara continues to be recognized by her clients and professional peers alike for her legacy of professionalism, competence and success.

Barbara is proud to be a part of the John Aaroe Group, a locally-owned and operated real estate brokerage with strategic locations in Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Sunset Strip, Sherman Oaks, and Downtown Los Angeles.

John Aaroe is a legend in Los Angeles real estate. Starting his career in 1975, he formed a division of the Jon Douglas Company which specialized in luxury sales. This division, which Mr. Aaroe ran for 10 years, became the largest entity in the U.S. selling homes in excess of 1 million. Aaroe & Associates was formed in 1993 and quickly became the most productive real estate company, per agent, in the United States. After the sale of Aaroe and Associates to Prudential in 1998, John ran the LA Division of Pru, titled John Aaroe Division and expanded the company into the Santa Barbara and Palm Springs markets. In January of 2009, John Aaroe Group was formed.

Barbara Wheeler exemplifies the people-focused, quality organization that is the John Aaroe Group. When you choose Barbara, you have made a decision to work with a highly professional who's commitment to you will be one of integrity, reliability, satisfaction, and success.
